Can You Identify This Eversharp?

I just bought a pen lot off eBay and this is one of the pens in the group that was part of it.

I'm not sure what kind of Eversharp it is. It says Eversharp on the front of the cap but on the back of the cap it has what I believe is the Parker emblem.

For a while after Parker bought the Eversharp name and intellectual property, following the demise of Eversharp it marketed some low end pens under the Eversharp name. This was similar to what Parker did with their sub-brands earlier. I rate them as about the same as Wearever pens from that era, though perhaps a little better designed.

Thank you Parker51. I didn't know that Parker had bought Eversharp. I'm more of an Esterbrook and Sheaffer collector as of right now as you can see the Esterbrook I have in the background, it was in the lot that this Eversharp was in and the only reason for buying the lot.

This particular pen was called the "10000 words" pen.

 

A bit more info on that pen here (somewhere in the middle of the page, search for "10.000"):

The same pen was marketed with the Parker imprint after they stopped using the Eversharp name. I find them collectible because even though they are cheap, they are an interesting part of both Parker and Eversharp history.

Here's a ballpoint from the same era. Parker using eversharp name. Essentially an Eversharp jotter. NOS if anyone wants it let me know.

Oops, In the post above I got the file uploaded and a link to it, but I seem not to know how to embed the image in the post.
